In August 2018, Microsoft had launched the Surface Go as its cheapest and smallest tablet. Recent reports have revealed that the Redmond-based tech giant is working on the successor device i.e. the Surface Go 2. Leaked details that surfaced last month revealed that the Surface Go 2 will be debuting in coming weeks. Fresh information shared by Windows Latest reveals that the Surface Go 2 has received certification from the Energy Star through which some of its vital specs have been revealed.
First of all, the Energy Star listing confirms that the Surface Go’s successor will be heading to the market as “Surface Go 2.” It has revealed that it is fueled by the Intel Core m3-8100Y processor. Built with 14nm process, the 8th-generation processor was introduced in 2018.
The processor has two cores and four threads. It works at a base frequency of 1.1GHz. The “Max Turbo” frequency of 3.40Ghz. The chipset could be couple with 8 GB of RAM. It is unclear whether the Surface Go 2 will be available in other variants.
Leaked information from last month had revealed that the Surface Go 2 will be arriving with a 10.5-inch display. The original model had come with a smaller display. It is said that the size of the Surface Go 2 will remain as the predecessor model. This suggests that the company may cut down on the size of the bezels to accommodate a 10.5-inch display.
Some of the other features that are expected to be available on the Surface Go 2 include Windows 10 home in S Mode, Windows Hello facial scanning, microSD card slot, a USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack and Surface Connect port.
